SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill scans a repository to produce a machine-readable architecture index by generating atlas.json and state.json under .code-atlas/, enabling Claude to understand the codebase without a full manual exploration. It also updates .gitignore to exclude the generated cache when present and is designed to run once on a new codebase to bootstrap session understanding.

Core Features & Use Cases

Generates atlas.json and state.json under .code-atlas/ as a curated architecture index for quick session reads.
Appends .code-atlas/ to .gitignore when present to keep caches out of version control.
Runs on full repository or a scoped path to bootstrap Claude’s understanding for new codebases.

Quick Start

Run this skill to scan your repository and generate the architecture index under .code-atlas/.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a codebase architecture index for Claude to understand my repository?▼

You can generate a codebase architecture index by scanning your repository to produce atlas.json and state.json under .code-atlas/. This architecture index allows Claude to quickly read and understand the codebase without requiring full manual exploration.

What is the best way to bootstrap Claude's understanding of a new codebase?▼

The best way to bootstrap Claude's understanding is to run a repository scan that generates a curated architecture index. This produces a machine-readable architecture index under .code-atlas/, enabling Claude to quickly read the codebase structure when starting a new session.

Can I scan a specific directory path instead of the full repository for architecture indexing?▼

Yes, you can scan a scoped path instead of the full repository. The codebase architecture index generation operates on either the entire repository or a user-specified path, producing the same atlas.json and state.json artifacts under .code-atlas/.

Does generating a codebase architecture index update my .gitignore file?▼

Yes, generating a codebase architecture index conditionally updates .gitignore. It appends the .code-atlas/ directory to .gitignore when present, ensuring the generated cache files are kept out of version control.

What files are created when scanning a codebase to produce an architecture index?▼

Scanning a codebase to produce an architecture index creates atlas.json and state.json under the .code-atlas/ directory. It also records a baseline commit and timing data for reproducibility during the bootstrap process.
